Inside the May Sample Society Box

Before I get to what's inside this month's Sample Society box, I need to preface it by saying this: I had an unfortunate run-in with self-tanner a few weeks ago—and I mean really unfortunate. I'm not going to name names, but the formula left my arms and legs a streaky mess (which made for quite the conversation starter at the bridal shower I was going to), and I had to nearly scrub my skin raw to de-Jersey Shore myself. I went on a self-tanner sabbatical immediately after. Which brings me to this month's box:

Inside mine was a Kate Somerville 360 Body Tanning Towelette. Despite my fears, I was OK with trying it because the application was so different from other tanners I've used—and I'm so glad I gave it a whirl. They're pre-saturated tanning wipes, which makes it easy to get even coverage; they're not messy; and one wipe is enough for your entire body. They're a saving grace for ghostly white legs everywhere. My three-week sabbatical (OK, it was more like a break) is 100 percent over.
